chasing bawa

is back again! I went vegetable shopping with my dad in Sri Lanka and you can check out what we bought at Umamimart: Slightly Peckish. If you are checking in from the States and live in or near SF, you may want to check out the Umamimart fundraiser for Japan. Please support them and go as I’m sure y’all will have a fabulous time. Wish I could be there.

In bookish news, the cover art for the US edition of Haruki Murakami’s eagerly anticipated new novel 1Q84 is announced here.

And here is another interview by the amazing China Miéville. I really must get to his Bas-lag novels soon.

And I am just drooling over these divine Penguin Threads Deluxe Classics. Want. Now.

And what about this library kit? I’m thinking of getting them for my nephews but I may get one for myself. Total nerdy heaven.
